Very true. The capacitors in the SSD could dissipate if not powered long term. I don’t know if this time frame has been tested though.
I suppose it depends on Diana’s backup schedule. You could do frequent backups weekly/monthly to SSD then do a long term (archival) dump annually to a traditional HDD.
If you plan on connecting the drives to look at old pics or video you will be eating into your fatal read/write cycles on the HDD where the SSD would be superior.
Long story short, both will work with proper management practices. Something like a NAS or (home cloud) will give the drives some redundancy so if one fails, you have the data on the other drives. Then pop a new one in, it rewrites the data to new drive and you’re good to go.
